This place is located in the old bkk, far from the crowd, it would help you understand aThai normal life. It’s 6 mins walk to the Bts saphan taksin. From this station, you can take skytrain to most shopping mall, as well as shuttle boat to Iconsiam (highly recommended) Motorbike taxi are available to take you to bts with 20b. Convenient nient store is 3 mins walking and busy at 8-9am and 7-8pm. Surrounding restaurants don’t have many choice, but the Haianese chicken is awesome and cheap (60-100bath/p). My room is in minimalist’s style and I enjoy sleeping there. Cons: the alley is very dark after 8pm, watch your step to avoid poo-poo.
